Lacking any kind of a funny bone, the Beijing Evening News is now blaming its report that the U.S. Capitol is about to be moved on The Onion - a satirical Web site which publishes outlandish parodies most 7-year-olds in the West would instantly recognize as a spoof.
Not so the grim-faced communists who run Beijing's state-run million-circulation daily - they fell for the satire hook, line and sinker and now they are blaming The Onion for doing what The Onion does.
